Pure dirt, endless horizon, and no limits. This is where your experience truly begins!
Join us at Los Horcones, where dirt roads, wide-open desert landscapes, and genuine Sonoran hospitality come together to create an experience you won’t soon forget.
The day starts with a freshly brewed cup of coffee and the energy of people who share the same passion for gravel. Then at 7:30 it’s time to ride. The course is designed to make you enjoy every mile, with fast dirt roads, spectacular scenery, and climbs that will put your legs to the test.
Along the way, you’ll find aid stations. In the 60km/38mi course it will be in the town of Cobachi km 30/mile 19. On the 110km route the frist one will be at km 30/mile 19, second is in the small town of Mazatán km 55/mile 31.5 and one last one at km 79/mile 49. From there one final 30km/19mi push to the finish.
But the adventure doesn’t end when you cross the finish line.
Back at Los Horcones, the Gravel Fest begins. It’s time to kick back, hang out, and celebrate the ride. Enjoy great food, cold drinks, music, shaded areas, and the perfect atmosphere to share stories, reconnect with old friends, and meet new riding buddies.
Friends and family members are invited. Is always exiting when they are there at the finish line to greet you!
Whether you’re coming to race, take on a personal challenge, or simply enjoy an unforgettable day on your bike, Horcones Gravel Fest is waiting for you.
